kept separate from the main prize fund, and awarded to the player of each side
pool who gets the furthest in each pool.)

qualify. The remaining 12 Players will each play a 7-point match, of which the
6 winners will also qualify, bringing the total to 16 Players.

Tournament Knockout. Depending on numbers, re-buys may be available at €20.

Clocks
